That is it. I would rinse the rock between each step in a bucket of RO/DI water (just submerge it). I don't change the water out on the FW soak and also on the last soak with Baking Soda (I used 4lbs for 200lb+ of rock) you need to make sure it is RO/DI water.
The drying time can be sped up if you put a fan on the rock say in your garage and rotate the rock EVERY day to make sure there is no water hiding in a hole. It is best to set it out in the sun to dry as long as you bring it in before the rain falls. If you can keep it outside then it will only take less then 2 weeks to dry.

+1 I followed Otty's directions and mine was dry at about a week and a half. I waited almost 3 weeks to be safe though...
